    In the browser you cannot access stdout, but you can use console.log to write to the dev console which is basically the same thing.

    In Node, you can use process.stdout.

    Both are available from the top-level globalThis objects that are part of each platform’s respective default library.

      And in GJS? All other runtimes?

      In, say, C, such basic stuff is right there, in the standard.

      Javascript isn’t even standardized, some ECMAScript is, so I don’t even know what we’re talking about.

        All ECMAScript is standardized because that refers to the standard.

        I think you’re discounting the different environments that JS runs in. Something like C runs in a much more uniform environment (the OS) while JS must be able to run in different runtimes. It’s like how windows has APIs that C can access, but obviously you can’t access them when running C from other OSes (forgive me if that’s inaccurate, I don’t use C often).
